Creamy Garlic Shrimp
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 8 ounces (250 g) shrimp, deveined, tails on or off
- 4 cloves garlic (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or low-sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (thickened cream)
- 1/4 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season the New York strip steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate loosely covered with foil.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat.

- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the dry white wine or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer and reduce by half.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the heavy cream and freshly shredded parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
